Come On You Dons !!!!:5573.jpg



Ive not clicked a vote as I think (and always have done) is that a lot of people wont travel across Donny to the keepmoat. I might be wrong , but the level of support would be greater playing where we used to play. We travel from Barnsley for home games but I have to admit for the last couple of years I have picked a choosed games to go to. 5 , 10 ,15 years ago I went everywhere , but personal circumstances change and work sometimes causes people to miss games too.Its a tough one really getting new people to come.The faithful will be there until the nursing home staff wont let us out!!

thanks for that info wanderer, so really the poll wont be a true reflection of what the real Dons fans think.

Quote: Wanderer "The flaw with such polls is that anyone registered with RLFans can vote. You might ask 'why would they?' but the fact remains that they can. There is no guarantee that all 35 votes are from Dons supporters. I suspect also that less than 35 people have voted as you have the option of two votes per person.'"


It's a bit of a devil if other fans take more interest in voting in our poll than our own fans do ... but I see where you're coming from.

With two votes each, there may have been no more than 18 people voting (Dons fans or otherwise) which I suppose proves more than anything that interest in the Dons is in decline.

I would agree sadly, although it's fair to say that there are a good few supporters who don't visit RLFans.

We desperately need signings which will excite the faithful.

I doubt even marque signings will have much effect , a lot of fans me included have lost confidence in the Club Doncaster set up . I have purchased a ticket because I hope one day for better things. I love rl & the Dons , but even I have a limit to what I can endure.

The fixture format is a nightmare , I have E Mailed the RFL & suggest others of a like mind do the same.

I agree. We all need a boost to give us hope that we have a serious chance of getting promoted next season.

Quite what is needed to bring the lost fans back, I doubt know ... probably three or four good quality players that are reasonably well known.

And I still fear the awful league structure could still stop people getting excited about it.
